Replacing internet/phone line into house.

So I have to have that terminal box? I can't run the wire from outside all the way in to the master socket?

If the drop wire, is long enough to reach the Master, yes it can go straight to it.

The master socket (NTE) can be fitted to a flush single electrical box. The filtered faceplate will still stick out a bit, but not as much.

Yeah, from memory, when moving a customer's NTE in 2019 (from upstairs to downstairs), the customer wanted as low a profile as possible, so I fitted a metal single gang back box (buried in the wall) and screwed the face plate(s) to that. Finding a supplier of the BT gel filled crimps and special crimping plier was easy enough. Sourcing the correct exterior cable was less easy so in the end I just cut off a section of the old cable.
